The Limestone Coast delivers one jaw-dropping natural wonder after the next – from sunken gardens, the otherworldly Piccaninnie Ponds and the striking blue lakes of Mount Gambier to the ancient fossils found in Naracoorte Caves and the white-sand beaches that line the coast. And just when you thought the Limestone Coast couldn’t possibly offer more, find yourself in Penola making your way through the delectable drops of the Coonawarra wine region’s many cellar doors before visiting the seaside town of Robe to dine on the state’s best seafood.
The Limestone Coast stretches along the south-east coastline of South Australia from Coorong National Park to the border of Victoria. The best way to explore it is via an extended road trip that takes in its headlining attractions from Robe (3.5 hours’ drive from Adelaide), Beachport and Naracoorte to Penola and Coonawarra to Mount Gambier. Extend your road trip to the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island to complete the iconic Southern Ocean Drive road trip.
